Restore ability to enable stenciling

[Technici4n]

• Restore the ability to enable stenciling, by using an event that enables stencil globally¹.
• Move mod construction, registry events, and config loading a bit earlier on the client.
• Add a config option to choose between 32+8 and 24+8 stencil formats. We default to 32+8 because that is what was done in 1.21.1, but it is now possible to experiment with 24+8. It is still not clear what the performance benefits of 24+8 are, and whether this causes visual artifacts or not.
• Add a basic test mod to validate that stencil can be enabled and used.

This PR is derived from #1715, but without the ability to instantiate render targets that have stencil enabled but not depth. Also brought further simplifications from FiniteReality#1.
